    Post Possession of Marijuana >20 Grams

    Florida Orange County
    I was arrested at 16 for drug paraphanelia and completed the diversion program. Now at the age of 19 I was arrested in the same county for Possesion of Marijuana under 20 grams. I would like too know if my prior offense as a minor rules me out for the diversion program as an adult? I would also like to know if anyone knows the usual punishment for such a crime?

    Drug diversion programs can vary by county, and I cannot find sufficient details of your county's program online to assess your eligibility. (I do see that the juvenile court would have continued to consider you for diversion; but now you're an adult.) I suggest consulting a local lawyer.

    Were you charged with possession over 20 grams or under 20 grams? Your subject says "more than" - ">", your actual post says "under".
